Like the real bassy grimy sound, but that Soft Cell guy wrecks it.

Otherwise I haven’t really got into any other BB songs.

Was curious to see how his voice went live. He kind sounds like someone singing alone in their own house—kinda quiet, feels like it would break at full volume, but sometimes he really hits a note, and it’s intriguing rather than bad.

Caught a bit of Jimoin hosting Rage last night, and it was actually pretty good. I’d never actually seen the video for this, or even carefully listened to it, I don’t think. I like his face.

No idea who the artist is or what the song is, just know it’s got something to do with Bangladesh, but I clicked on this because I liked the small thumbnail. I’m a sucker for bright colours plus washed out photos kinda design.

Matey’s got a wild bow grip, takes money while singing, keyboard player casually browses his phone, drummer’s having a great time, excellent.

Okay, I figured out the artist’s name, not sure if the first part of the title/image is the song title. Other stuff in the thumbnail is the yellow and white text in the top right which says the place where they’re performing (Abode of Shukur Shah Baba (who is the old fella on the left)), middle text which is the artist and lyricist credit, and ২০২৪ which is 2024. So, yeah, assuming the top left text (Nabiganj Thana Farm Bazar) is the song title, but not sure. Nabiganj is a place…

Guy in Pacific Club mentioned this song.

Might fit nice in a playlist after In Alto Mare.

Meant to note that it was interesting hearing this kind of vocal affectation in French.

I’ve been listening to this daily.

Got to this from recs. from more stuff I was hearing off that blog. Great atmosphere.

Translator says the title is ‘Targeted Girl’. Seems like it might be a Youtube darling I’ve missed.

She only has one album according to Discogs—

Oh, looked at the credits on Discogs and it’s a bunch of people Internet people like a lot more than I do, EG Haruomi Hosono wrote a lot of the songs. Didn’t think much of the album apart from this song and maybe ハートがピッピッ (My Heart Goes Beep Beep), but more interesting production than a lot of J-pop.

Was sorting my bookmarks a bit, going through checking music blogs, adding some RSS feeds, and am having a good time exploring this one: Fond/Sound

Rest of this EP of remixes I’m not into as much. Normally I get a bit bored by this type of thing. Enjoying the icy/crystally sounds, been trying to make some music with them too.

Predictably, the song I complained about last post has got stuck in my head.

Here’s another one off the same album I like. Kinda like how normal the singer looks in this, like someone’s auntie.
